Pops is pleased to host Allison and Victor on Saturday, May 25, 7 pm. Tickets are $10 at the door.
With singer-songwriter, Allison, on guitar and vocals, Victor performs on saxophone and vocals. Together, they create a fusion of musical forms uniquely their own by blending roots music — a fusion of jazz, folk, blues, a little funk, originals and some standards laced with some French lyrics. Allison learned French where she grew up in Belgium while Victor was born and raised in Middletown, Delaware.
The duo have released their fourth recording Nation of Jubilation with a host of stellar area musicians such as bassist Bruce Calin, drummer Patrick Wiseman and percussionist Mike Harris. One listener described their new recording as “ Funky, Fresh, Smooth, Pop, Jazz With a World Music flavor. This one defies Genres! Musicians being Musicians unbounded by definitions of what genre of music they play. They are showcasing their musical journey to this time and space. Get it for a fresh listening”
As a duo, Allison and Victor have shared the stage with The Blind Boys of Alabama, Tuck and Patti, Walter “Wolfman” Washington, Craig Chaquico, Shana Morrison, Archie Lee Hooker, Acoustic Alchemy, blues legend John Hammond, Lazy Lester, famed drummer Akira Tana, hall of famer Terry Robb and most recently Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Their constant performance schedule has contributed to their growing fan base on the West Coast, USA. While their music has struck a chord in the wine country of Northern California and Oregon as well as the festival circuit, Allison and Victor also perform in Arizona and in Mexico. In 2021 and 2022, they were honored to be invited to perform for the first and second Juneteenth Celebration at the Coos History Museum in Coos Bay Oregon.
